Hi Curt,
I bought my Carrera as the original owner in 1974 and have followed them since. It is possible to have manual windows but that should be documented on the window sticker or some other form of documentation. On the four Carreras you had, what did your window sticker indicate?
Electric windows were commonplace. It was never intended to be a lightweight.
Manual windows on the window sticker , is that your question ? No sir. Manual windows was never an option, it would have been Standard . I won' t opine on your theory, but the cars I had were unmolested examples, and NO ONE was changing out manual windows for electric windows back then. The cars I owned were 3 CA cars, and one AZ car.
I own 911440XXXX with electric windowns 49K original miles unmolested totally and completly original with complete history and all books with record from delivery. How does someone if still possable get a invoice window sticker? Thank you.
Manual windows were standard for the Carrera Targa on rest-of-world cars, and power windows for coupes as standard. For the US market I thought the Targas also came with manual windows (and coupes had electric)...is that true?
Yes, that is correct. Check out my window sticker, near the bottom of the N.C. Items.Attachment 281497
The May 2013 issue of Panorama has an article I wrote on a U.S. '74 Carrera imported to California.
Electric windows were standard on the U.S. spec model. Other items that came standard included antennae and speaker grill. And even though ‘74 U.S. Carreras were uniformly delivered with the ducktail, Carrera script, and a 5-speed transmission, these were all listed as options for that model. The optional fog lamps were chrome for the '74 model, becoming black in '75.
My research included long discussions with Curt Egerer. There is some good info there...
Ran into this thread. Does anyone know of any kind of registry for the 1974-1975 USA Carreras?
